Scipio Africanus


Scipio Africanus is widely regarded as one of history's greatest military leaders. But that doesn't stop his name sounding like a disease.

  1. Do you think he became a general to channel all the anger related to the bullying he endured in school because of his name?

    love it

  2. There's certainly reason to believe so. Why else was his greatest military achievement a campaign against Billy Jones from his sixth grade maths class?

  3. Brilliant!

    His name does sound like a disease-causing parasite!

    Can't wait for more this month!

  4. A parasite that eats your bones from the inside and replaces the marrow removed with matter from your brain. It's particularly nasty!
